I grew up in the era of the Carpenters. Beautiful song.
Thanks for initiating the whole bunch of us into this web 2.0 thingy.
At least, now I can say that compared to my kids I am a little ahead of what's out there. But Im sure they'll catch up in no time. Sigh.
Would appreciate updates of this thing and what's to come? possibly a web 3.0?
Libraries need to be in the forefront of the technology scene.
Love the concept and format of this programme. Found it motivating and being pushed out of my comfort zone to tackle what's already out there.

Task 21 Podcasts
April fool's day joke? On Yahoo Podcasts site:
"Yahoo! apologizes deeply, but we will be closing down the Podcasts site on Oct. 31, 2007"
Navigated this and Podcast.net
Similar and user-friendly.
Fed "1 year daily audio bible podcast" to bloglines.

After You-Tube, the audio-only option seems less attractive. Yes, we are becoming more visual rather than auditory in our learning.

Task 20 You, too.
"Do you want to be a Librarian?" is so cute... talks about the awakening interest in literature of children.. if only we have more awakening of this sort?! I like You-tube. Enjoyed some of the songs on them "Find your wings" was dedicated to my Year 12 son on his graduation.
Couldn't resist this all-time favourite...
You-tube could also be successfully used for library educational purposes. Saw how effective it was earlier in Task 16 in the explanation of wikis.

Task 19 Yelp! They're all winners!
What a dizzying delectable array! Like going to a buffet.
I used to do pretty well (eating a buffet that is) and get my money's worth.
But not anymore as age catches up.
Feeling a bit like that with this wide spread (not my width but what's on the screen)
Had a few invitations to Facebook recently which also had the award for social networking in the winners' list.
I guess I am not comfortable that with the acceptance of the invitation comes the connecting of people (who are signed up)you know. I think that the relationships a person has with different people are different.
There is also the feeling of privacy being encroached as every movement (tag, superpoke) is documented.

Task 18 So that's where it came from...
Have found the staff tracking log very motivational, yah right, the pressure is ON esp. when my path hasn't blazed as red as the others! Have been wondering how you did the tracking log. Thanks for revealing the secret!
Zoho is the way to go. User-friendly. Intuitive.
Tried word-processing and spreadsheet functions.
In the past, have had to email documents that I need to access anywhere as the email account was portable. Not anymore with Zoho!
Zoho got it right with the resume templates. Great for applying jobs-on-the-go!

Task 17 There's sand for everyone
Esp. in my eyes. I just could not get my blog into the PCLC wiki.
Spent about 45 mins unsuccessfully figuring it. Figured that I 'll ask some of the experts at work. "PAUSE" on...
Got to work and in 45 sec, a colleague showed me.
So, it's there now.
